A Monograph of Culicidae. 
F. nigripes , Theobald, from Sierra Leone (Mono. Culicid. vol. iv. 
p. 578, 1906), which differs from the Transvaal species in having 
a banded abdomen, the basal white hands being very prominent in 
the Sierra Leone insect. The female wing-scales agree with those 
of the male in this genus, and the discovery of the female does 
not necessitate adding anything to the definition of the genus. 
Types in the British Museum. 
Genus HODGESIA. Theobald (1904). 
Journ. Trop. Med. (Jan. 15th, 1904); Mono. Culicid. IV., 579 (1907). 
Two species have been so far found in this genus. They can 
be separated by the following characters :— 
Feet normal .. .. . sanguinae. Theobald. 
Fore and mid feet bent, with a dense 
long tuft of scales projecting on 
last tarsal from the third; hind 
legs normal... cuptopous. n. sp. 
Hodgesia sanguinae. Theobald (1904). 
Hodgesia sanguined. Banks (1906). 
Journ. Trop. Med. VII., 17 (1904), Theobald; Philip. Journ. Sci. I., 9, 981 
(1906), Banks; Mono. Culicid. IV., 579 (1907), Theobald; Journ. Trop. 
Med., 368 (Dec. 1st, 1904), Giles. 
Entebbe, Uganda. 
Type in the British Museum. 
Note .-—Giles records this (with a query in the Jour. Trop. 
Med.) from Pampanga, Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, P. I. (E. R. 
Whitmore). I do not imagine it has anything to do with the 
African species described from Entebbe, Uganda. His note is 
recorded here as follows :— 
“ The specimens referred to undoubtedly belong to Mr. Theobald’s 
new genus described in the issue of January 15th, 1904, of this 
Journal, but unfortunately have fallen a victim to a small mite which 
was enclosed in the tube with the specimens, and which has eaten off 
most of the scales. From what remains of the decorations the speci¬ 
mens may very well be identical with his Hodgesia sanguinae , as the 
highly characteristic wing-scales are quite intact and are unmistak¬ 
able, while some few of the remaining occipital scales also correspond 
with his figure. 
A point in the leptolaxis of the wing which he has not noticed is
